Extrude cut into multple faces??
Extrude cut into multple faces??
(OP)
I am running into somewhat of a problem, I need to cut a groove or channel into a body that has multiply faces. These faces are all different contours. The groove/channel can only be 0.050" deep from the initial face.
It seems like the extrude cut feature from face would work but I cannot select multiple faces. The other option is rotate the part, split it, trace the top counter, offset the sketch then extrude cut in both directions. This is not accurate enough and I figured that there had to be a better way.
So any ideas?
Thanks.

2) Use those planes to split the surfaces.
3) Create a zero offset surfaces from the split faces inside the groove planes.
4) Thicken the zero offset surface.

This method will give a groove with angled sides though.
Heres a quick model showing the above, and an alternative config with parallel sides.

then Insert>Cut>Extrude[Until surface (pick the offset surface)]
This will allow a Cut Extrude through multiple faces)
